Image Resize Using CCK

I have created a content type that has an image and text field. I want the image to be displayed next to the text, image on left, text on right.

That's all fine and dandy but I want the customer to be able to upload any image without resizing it first and have drupal resize the image to a specific width to make sure all the pages look the same.

I have created the content type and added the fields and now I need to know the easiest way to do the image resizing. I have looked into views but this is not a list of content. They are individual pages that will be repeated on different areas of the site.

Any ideas or places to start??
